avoid at all costs 228. That means the theme must be changed. I cannot picture clearly who will be in the internationalist club 229, and therefore find it difficult to select a theme. I propose doing it this way: if it is absolutely necessary to announce the theme in advance, choose a title that says nothing in particular ("On Questions of the Day" or "Pressing Questions of the Workers' Movement" etc.), so that everything fits under it. And I will consult in Geneva and prepare a brief report or introduction to the discussion on the morning of the 2nd.
